Taking Charge: Women and Work

Saturday, December 3, 2011 - 9:00 am to 3:45 pm - Moore College of Art & Design, 20th Street & the Parkway, Philadelphia

This year’s conference will examine women and work, with sessions for all women: for the woman working two jobs and trying to make ends meet, to the woman looking to rejoin the workforce after an extended leave, to the executive seeking to network or start her own business. A range of experts will engage participants in dialogue about various legal, policy, and social issues. We will explore how far women have come and where we still need to go. Participants will also receive valuable tools to address challenges women face in today’s workforce.
